Month: August 2015

Well, I’m getting older soon. My birthday is coming up and I’m so excited to be having a Hawaiian themed birthday party. It’s still about three weeks away, so we needed to start planning. Grandma is getting steak, fish and coconut shrimp. She’ll also buy some veggies to put on the grill. I’m providing the…

That’s right! Today’s posts are all about home! Do you know how many times I think about you both everyday? Whoa! A lot! You are my home, sweet sisters. So much of what I do, I do with you ( and your brothers in mind. I always buy cars that can hold more than two:…

Grandma and I worked on your scrapbooks again today. All the baby pictures are in. Next are the toddler pictures. Purity, you have a page entitled “All the Faces of Purity” while Bea has a page entitled “Our Christmas Angel.” What great memories!

I found this owl puppet at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Isn’t she cute?! What to name her? I don’t know! I’m going to hang out at the Getty and study up on the elements of art so I can teach them to my class this week. Having gone to Europe now, this art…

Tonight is the night! Tonight, we are celebrating your niece’s birth. Tonight, everything is pink! So, in honor of our newest little angel, here is Pink singing, You Are Perfect. Just remember that no matter what happens, you are perfect just the way you came into this world.

I read this poem to my kids today. We are going to start poetry soon. I tell them that poets are people who like to play with words. Like people play with basketballs, or board games, poets arrange and rearrange words: playing with the sounds. This poem has two rhymes and lots of playing with…

Your cosmic DJ has found another great song for you to enjoy this evening. I’m not sure what time of day, you get to see my posts. Or how often. But I continue to post an average of two posts a day. Sometimes it’s three (like yesterday). I get inspired. Sometimes I post ahead so…
